This matched them up against the #7 seed Colorado, who the Devils lost to in regular season play in the final seconds of the game. Round 1 (#10) Arizona State 11 (#7) Colorado 10
The Sun Devils took down the #7 seed Colorado (11-10) in the first round of the tournament. Both Sophomore Tyler Westfall (3g, 2a) and Freshman Eric Nelson (2g, 3a) stepped up and led ASU in scoring. Junior Pete Noel contributed with 2 goals. The win was more absolute than the score shows with ASU stumbling home in the last minute of the game.

The Sun Devils were blanked (14-0) by Colorado State in a very uncharacteristic game played by ASU. With Eric Nelson not at 100%, injuring an ankle in the first round and CSU trapping between the retraining lines, ASU never got the offense going. Even with a 14-0 shut out, Freshman goalie Clay Tourault played an amazing game, stopping 16 shots. Story | Game Stats Consolation Game (#10) Arizona State 7 (#9) Boston College 3
The Sun Devils emptied the bench in the consolation victory (7-3) over the #9 seed Boston College.
